The problem, of course, from the mfr's point of view, is that some bozo is
going to think "hmmm... Larry across the hall has a maid come twice a
month, I'll take it over there and..." and then they have to deal with 1)
repairing/replacing the drive, 2) losing a customer who thinks they should
fix it under warranty.
That's why they void warranties of stuff that's been tampered with. Face
it, for everyone of us that knows something about computers there's a
thousand bozos with a screwdriver.
